Abstract (en)

The device comprises a block of transparent material (1) delimited by a pair of opposite surfaces, a front surface (2) and a rear surface (3) and a source of light radiation (4) located between said surfaces: cavities (5) are formed in the rear surface (3), each of which cavities is delimited at least by one surface (6) which forms a predetermined angle with the rear surface (3) and diffraction means (7) are located on the front surface (2), on which means the light rays reflected by the rear surface (3) are incident and by which means these rays are diffracted so as to give a light flux having predetermined optical characteristics. <IMAGE>
